CCTV footage showing Ensure Security personnel brutally assaulting a homeless man outside the Embassy Building in the Durban CBD on December 18.
AN INVESTIGATION by Carte Blanche has uncovered disturbing allegations of violence against homeless individuals in Durban, prompting advocacy groups to call for immediate action and accountability from authorities.
They said the exposé, which aired on May 24, had drawn long-overdue attention to what they described as ‘systemic abuse’ and official inaction.
Speaking on behalf of the homeless community in the city, Dr Raymond Perrier, director of the Denis Hurley Centre (DHC), said they were “grateful to the team at Carte Blanche for drawing attention to this issue in a thorough and sensitive way.”
The investigation was prompted after a four-minute video allegedly showing security personnel from Ensure Security assaulting a homeless man in Durban.
